iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island – Everything you need to know

The arrival of the iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island offers a less obtrusive, smarter alternative to the notch found on iPhone models from the past five years.

The regular iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus may still have a notch, but Apple has finally unveiled a proper replacement for the hole-punch selfie cameras found on competing Android phones. Dynamic islands are slowly becoming more useful as iOS 16 continues to be updated and app developers work to take advantage of new features in the iPhone software. Below, we detail what Dynamic Island is and does, along with some of the apps and features that take advantage of this iPhone 14 Pro addition.

iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island: What is it?

At its simplest, this iPhone 14 Pro feature involves two cutouts in the display that house the selfie camera and facial recognition sensors. If you look closely, they’re actually individually embedded into the phone, but the iPhone’s interface puts them in one larger pill cutout, more uniform than multiple cutouts.

But more than just connecting them together, Apple uses Islands to display relevant information, depending on which app you’re using or the reminder you’ve received. Tapping and holding Dynamic Island will bring up a larger version of the widget, allowing you to control something without going directly to the app. Going back to the album example again, tapping and holding reveals a full media widget with skip forward/backward buttons, an interactive progress bar, and an AirPlay button to select an output device.

iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island: Compatible iPhones

Currently, only the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max can use the dynamic island. The regular iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus still use Apple’s old notch design.

As for future iPhones, there are current rumors that all flagship iPhones after the iPhone 15 will feature Dynamic Island. Since the iPhone SE is currently a generation behind in terms of design and is based on the iPhone 8, even if the iPhone SE 4 arrives in 2023 as usual, it may be a few years before the cheapest iPhone gets the dynamic island rumors.

iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island: Compatible apps and features

Apple puts a lot of reminders into its Dynamic Island, so here’s a list of the most interesting features any iPhone 14 Pro owner will find in its Dynamic Island.

Face ID and iPhone Lock

When you pick up your iPhone 14 Pro, the first thing you’ll probably notice is a small padlock icon in Dynamic Island, indicating it’s secure. It will turn into a disposition bubble, followed by a check mark, indicating that you have been allowed in. Additionally, opening the app or verifying your identity will cause the Face ID window to pop up while the iPhone double-checks who you really are.

Apple Maps

Apple put a lot of effort into integrating its Maps app with Dynamic Island. Normally, Maps shows your next directions as you head to your destination. If you need to know exactly where you’re going, tapping and holding reveals more information.

Voice memo

When you take audio notes in Voice Memos, the dynamic island shows your recording waveform and elapsed time.

AirPods and accessory connectivity and battery life

If you connect Apple-made earbuds or headphones to your iPhone, Dynamic Island displays a small icon with a green or red ring showing how much power they contain. The feature also works with other select accessories.

Apple pay

Instead of popping up the Wallet app to display your available payment cards, you’ll see a small box showing the card you’re currently using and a small icon showing the status of your payment.

Focus mode

When your iPhone automatically switches between different focus modes, the icon for that focus will show an on or off sign so you know why your home screen or other settings suddenly changed.

Battery and Charging Alerts

When your battery starts to run low, typical iPhone warnings of 20% and below pop up into Dynamic Island, giving you a visual warning that it’s time to start charging your phone.

Mute on/off

Tapping the alarm switch on the left side of the iPhone already provides some haptic feedback, but you can now also see a mute icon appear or disappear in Dynamic Island.

Media Player

You can now find playing songs, podcasts, videos, or any other content that would normally appear in the Media widget in Control Center

In addition to Apple’s built-in features, you also get Live Activities, a new addition to iOS 16 that gives you live updates on apps you previously had to have open. On phones without Dynamic Island, live activity is usually limited to the lock screen.

As of iOS 16.1, you cannot currently turn off Island as a feature, but perhaps a future version of iOS will allow users to do this.

The iPhone 15 might not have a circular design after all — here’s why

The renaissance of rounded iPhone edges may be put on hold next year when the iPhone 15 launches, as supply chain issues could force Apple to stick with the current iPhone design.

That’s the word from LeaksApplePro, who spoke to Forbes about Apple’s so-called iPhone 15 plans. According to the anonymous leaker, Apple has not committed to bringing back rounded edges, although Apple executives are still strongly considering them for the iPhone 15 series. In fact, LeaksApplePro seems to imply that Apple does want rounded edges, but may not have a choice.

iPhone 15: Flat back or rounded edges?

The past few iPhone versions, dating back to the iPhone 12, have centered around the phablet. Some people like this design because it makes the phone more durable, but others find the edges less comfortable than the rounded design.

Earlier this year, reports suggested that Apple was preparing to bring back rounded edges on the iPhone 15 to update the look of its phones. Now that decision appears to be up in the air.

There are several reasons why Apple is still debating between flat and round back designs. Supply chain restrictions are still ravaging the world in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Shutdowns in China and other geopolitical issues in the region and the US have Apple making contingency plans, as evidenced by Apple’s partnership with TSMC to produce 4nm process chipsets in Arizona.

Another concern is that Apple also wants to ensure a premium feel and materials for its smartphones, with the iPhone 15’s rumored rounded edges introducing design complications. Apple is reportedly treating the glass back panel of its iPhones as a non-negotiable element because it is required for wireless charging. If Apple can’t figure out how to make a rounded glass rear panel for wireless charging, the company could be forced to use rounded edges on the iPhone 16 or later down the road.

A round-backed iPhone is ideal for many users, which is why Apple may go to great lengths to bring it to the iPhone 15. Ergonomically, phones with rounded corners are much more comfortable to hold in the hand than phablets, and both the back design and Apple seem to be aware of this.

Samsung Galaxy S23 vs. Google Pixel 7: What we know so far

The Galaxy S23 will be the Android flagship in 2023, and the Pixel 7 will be one of the de facto Android phones until its successor arrives at the end of the year. Here’s what to expect from the Galaxy S23 vs. Pixel 7 faceoff.

GALAXY S23 VS. GOOGLE PIXEL 7: DESIGN AND DISPLAY

The Galaxy S23, at least based on some leaked renders, appears to have a slight design change. From what we’ve seen so far, it looks like Samsung intends to bring the entire Galaxy S23 series together in terms of design language. This means that the alleged contour cut of the Galaxy S22 is out, replaced by a separate camera lens, like the one you see on the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 7 improves on the design direction of Google’s Pixel 6, which is launching in 2021. The distinctive camera strip is still there, spanning the width of the phone. This time it’s metal, which adds a touch of sophistication.

As for the display, we expect the Galaxy S23 to remain at 6.1 inches with an FHD+ resolution. The Galaxy S22 can bump its refresh rate up to 120Hz, but it’s clocked down to just 48MHz. Other competing phones can drop to 10Hz, or even 1Hz.

The Pixel 7 has a stunning 6.3-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz adaptive refresh rate. While it lacks the vibrant colors and insane brightness of the Galaxy S22, it maxed out at 926 nits in our tests, which was very noticeable in daylight.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S23 VS GOOGLE PIXEL 7: CAMERA

The real winner of this showdown will win in the camera department. Google holds the title of best Android camera phone. While Samsung has made some big strides in recent years, the Galaxy S22 still struggles to keep up with the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. However, the Galaxy S23 Ultra may outshine Google.

Samsung may be keeping the triple camera setup it has had for a while. Rumors say we’ll see a 12MP primary sensor along with a 12MP ultrawide shooter and a 10MP telephoto lens. As for zoom, the Galaxy S22 has 3x optical capacity, so the Galaxy S23 will likely maintain that.

The latest rumors also claim that the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 will feature a new 12MP front-facing camera, which will be an upgrade from the previous 10MP sensor.

The Pixel 7 produces incredible results with its 50MP main sensor and 12MP ultrawide sensor. The phone takes stunning photos in most situations, letting the iPhone 14 shine. Google reserved the telephoto lens for the Pixel 7 Pro, but the Pixel 7 enjoys all the other computational photography tricks of its big brother.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S23 VS GOOGLE PIXEL 7: PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE

In terms of performance, we expect the Galaxy S23 to pack more horsepower than the Pixel 7. That’s because the Pixel’s Tensor G2 chipset trailed the Galaxy S22 and its Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in synthetic benchmarks. With the Galaxy S23 almost certain to feature the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Google could fall further behind on performance.

The Pixel 7’s battery life didn’t wow us. In our custom test, in which we keep the phone constantly reloading webpages over a cellular connection, it returned a result of 7 hours and 17 minutes in adaptive refresh rate mode. Not that the Galaxy S22 was much better at 7 hours, 51 minutes. We expect to see at least ten hours in this test, so Samsung has a lot of room to improve on the Galaxy S23.

Rumors suggest that the battery capacity of the regular Galaxy S23 could increase to 3,885 mAh, while that of the Galaxy S23 Plus could increase to 4,700 mAh. If true, that should extend lifespan.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S23 VS GOOGLE PIXEL 7: SOFTWARE

Another important difference between the Galaxy S23 and Pixel 7 is software. Samsung’s One UI is a feature-rich version of Android, and the phone maker has greatly improved its software design and update schedule in recent years. One UI 5 based on Android 13 is solid, and that’s what the Galaxy S23 has out of the box.

The Pixel 7 runs Google’s vision for Android 13 and features the Material You theme engine. It’s relatively streamlined compared to One UI. Google packs in a lot of useful stuff, like the entire Call Suite, the photography stuff we mentioned earlier, and the music-playing identifier.

The Pixel 7 also gets Google‘s latest updates and security patches on day one. There are also quarterly feature drops, where Google introduces smaller feature sets outside of its annual Android release schedule.

We’re not going to say one is better than the other because that’s a matter of personal preference, but Samsung‘s current lead over Google comes down to the number of updates it promises. It promises four years of platform updates and five years of security patches, the best you can get on an Android phone.

Google Pixel 6 issues: all known issues and solutions

The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are some of the best phones out there. But unfortunately, they suffer from a surprising number of problems. Thankfully, Google has fixed most of the issues with the Google Pixel 6 and Google Pixel 6 Pro with Android OS updates, or at least provided workarounds while finding better solutions.

Here’s a list of potential issues you might run into with your Pixel 6, along with some possible fixes, so let’s take a look!

Google‘s dodgy fingerprint scanner

One of the most common complaints about the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro is its fingerprint scanner, and there are reportedly multiple ways to stop it from working. Users claim that the scanner can be damaged if you let the battery die or repair the screen, and the fingerprint reader is generally unreliable.

The good news is that most problems with scanners are fixed with updates, and there are some best practices you can follow to avoid problems. If you’re having trouble with the scanner, clean your phone’s screen first and make sure you’re using your right finger and part of it – depending on how you’re doing the calibration, if you’re holding it at an angle. If you use a screen protector, you may also want to make sure it’s not causing any problems, as some protectors can affect the scanner.

The only issue Google hasn’t fixed yet is that repairing the screen could cause the fingerprint scanner to stop working as well. Since even a Google-approved professional can hardly replace the screen without any problems.

Dead point

When it comes to repairing your phone’s screen, if you’ve noticed blocks of black pixels on your screen, this might be the only solution.

It’s not uncommon for phones to have dead pixels, especially if you’re not careful. Unfortunately, if they show up on your Pixel 6, your only solution may be to replace the screen. That said, we recommend checking that your Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro is running the latest version of the Android operating system before sending the phone in for repair; some users have found that simply installing a software update can bring dead pixels back to life.

Other Pixel 6 screen issues

Users have also reported a few other issues with the Pixel 6 series’ screens, with some reporting flickering when the power button is pressed while the phone is off, and others reporting a green tint to the display.

While there’s no word on a fix for the greenish tint, Google has acknowledged the flicker, saying the issue can happen if you don’t press the power button hard enough to turn the phone on. The company released the fix in a January software update, but if you’re still having issues, then to avoid it, just hold down the power button until your Pixel phone turns on.

Auto rotate doesn’t work

Some users complained that the auto-rotate feature stopped working even though it should still be on.

Unfortunately, Google has not yet provided a permanent fix, but we and others have found that the best solution is to restart the phone; doing so seems to fix any issues with the accelerometer, and it should start working fine again.

Auto brightness is too dim or too dark

Some users on Reddit have also reported that their Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro will constantly adjust its screen brightness without changing the ambient lighting.

It looks like this is a result of the auto-brightness algorithm learning how bright you like your phone, so if you manually adjust the brightness when it changes to a level you’re not happy with, it should eventually learn how bright you want it to be.

Charging is not that fast

Despite initially saying that the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones could restore half their charge in 30 minutes thanks to the 30W charging cable, Google has since confirmed that neither device actually supports 30W charging — instead the base model and The Pro models top out at around 21W and 23W, respectively.

Since the Google Pixel 6 doesn’t come with a charging cable, you’ll have to rely on third-party options; if the one you pick up isn’t as fast as the minimum 21W speed the device is capable of, your charge may take longer than expected.

Wi-Fi call dropped

Some Google Fi customers are finding that Wi-Fi calling doesn’t work on the Pixel 6 series, but a post on Reddit suggests that in many cases, the issue seems to resolve itself over time, so patience may just be the case here.

In the meantime, you might have some luck if you turn airplane mode on and off again. Google also released a software update that included “fixes for an issue that disabled calling functionality on certain devices or networks in some cases,” so that’s probably what it was referring to.

iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14: The most anticipated upgrade

If you want the latest iPhone, you’ll want the iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro. But in 2023 there will be the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro, and possibly even the iPhone 15 Ultra. Below, we’ve compared all the iPhone 15 rumors so far to what the iPhone 14 has to offer to help you decide whether to buy an iPhone 14 now, or wait patiently for an iPhone 15 next fall.

iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 15: Design and display

The iPhone 14 series looks very similar to previous generations, with a few minor exceptions. All four versions are flat phones with either a notch or a dynamic island containing the front-facing selfie camera. You can get Pro and non-Pro phones with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch OLED displays, and the Pro models also feature always-on display, a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, and higher peak brightness.

We don’t expect the overall look of the iPhone 15 to be radically different from the iPhone 14, but we could see some notable changes. These include solid-state buttons on some models and curved edges on the back of the phone. The latter design tweak could make the new iPhones more comfortable to hold and use. The iPhone 15 may also feature a new LTPO OLED display, which is said to last longer than current OLED displays. Sounds like a good fit for those who want to use their phone for as long as possible.

Speaking of screens, the iPhone 15’s panel may hold a secret. Next year’s iPhones will likely feature Face ID under the display, though the selfie camera will still be exposed in a hole-punch cutout similar to the one we saw on earlier iPhone 14 concepts. Another change to note is the alleged addition of titanium guardrails to some iPhone 15 models. That’s a rumor we’ve heard about previous generations of iPhones that apparently didn’t materialize, but the ongoing rumors of Apple using this super-tough metal seem to suggest it’s still under consideration.

iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 15: Cameras

The iPhone 14 brings two major camera upgrades as it replaces the iPhone 13. The first is the autofocus selfie camera on all four models, and the second is the 48MP main camera on the Pro model.

Further enhancements to the iPhone 15’s camera could include a new Sony-made sensor with enhanced exposure controls compared to the iPhone’s current Samsung-made camera sensor, and a 48MP main camera on the base model, but not the same as the Pro phones.

Apple could go a step further with a new periscope telephoto lens, likely using parts from the same suppliers as Samsung, which would allow for greater optical magnification than the current 3x. It will allegedly achieve 5x optical zoom, which beats out many competitors such as the Galaxy S22 and current and upcoming iPhones. However, that’s not enough to beat the best telephoto cameras like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and its 10x optical zoom.

An annoying caveat is that this new periscope zoom camera may only be available on the iPhone 15 Pro Max model, leaving the regular-sized Pro cold, meaning there may not be major photographic differences between it and the iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 14 Pro models.

A more bizarre rumor is that the iPhone 15 Ultra models may have two front-facing cameras. We’re not sure what the second camera is for, but it could be used to take ultra-wide shots or help with Apple’s rumored AR/VR ambitions.

iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 15: Specs

Aside from photography, there are other rumors about how the iPhone 15 will be different from the iPhone 14. First, we’ll obviously see another two-tier chipset situation in next year’s iPhones, as we’ve seen with the A15 chip in the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, and in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The new A16 chip.

The regular iPhone 15 models are said to feature the A16 chipset, while the iPhone 15 Pro models will feature a brand new 3nm chipset, which we assume will be called the A17 Bionic. That could mean some iPhone 14 models could be as powerful as some iPhone 15 models, though all could still perform as well as any comparable Android phone before.

We’d like to see the US iPhone 15s support eSIM only, which means no physical SIM card slot. That may still not be the case for iPhone models sold outside the US, though.

Finally, the iPhone 15 may add a long-awaited feature and use a USB-C port instead of Lightning, as the European Union forces all mobile device companies to adopt USB-C by 2024, and Apple is said to have made a USB-C iPhone. Prototypes have been around for a while.

While that’s more convenient than the iPhone 14’s Lightning port, we probably won’t see any difference in data or charging speeds for the base model, according to one rumor. Only iPhone 15 Pro/Ultra models offer faster data transfers via USB-C.

How to set a passcode on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac — and get rid of it

Passwords have their place, but knowing how to set up a passkey on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac will make accessing online services more secure. While iOS and macOS will suggest complex one-time passwords for you when you sign up for websites and apps or seek to make changes, Keys takes security to another level.

When a key is generated, two keys are actually created. One ends up being stored on your device, and the other is stored on the website or app. The one on your device—iPhone, iPad, or Mac—doesn’t leave that device. But when you subsequently log in, the two keys are paired. Once there is a match, you are allowed in.

This enhances security in several ways. First, you have the security layer of TouchID and FaceID. Second, hackers can never access the keys stored on your device. Third, the key is encrypted. Fourth, each key is unique to a particular account. No one can come up with one master key and apply it to another. So let’s take a look at how to set a passcode on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

How to set up passkeys on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Setting up a key requires two steps. First you need an activation key, then you need to generate a key. Doing this on an iPhone/iPad and a Mac is different, but we’ll cover everything here. The first step is to activate the key.

ACTIVATE PASSWORD ON IPHONE OR IPAD

1. Launch the Settings app and select Passwords.

2. Select the Password option.

3. Turn on AutoFill Passwords, then tap iCloud Passwords & Keychain (a blue tick will appear). This will allow iOS to fill in the password field.

Activation key on MAC

1. Click the Apple logo in the upper left corner and select System Settings.

2. Click your name at the top of the sidebar and select iCloud.

3. Open Passwords and Keychain.

CREATE NEW KEYS ON IPHONE AND IPAD

To create a key, you need to use a support website or application. More and more people will use this feature, but you won’t really know until you look at an account with a service or hope to sign up for one.

1. Visit the support website or app and create an account. We use kayak.co.uk here, so here’s how the process starts: visit the site, choose to log in by email, enter your email address, and click continue.

2. Similarly, for Kayak, you need to click Create Your Account.

3. When prompted to save the key for your email address, just click Continue. The key will be created and you will be logged in.

Create a new key on the MAC

As with iPhone and iPad, you’ll need to use a supporting website or app.

1. Visit the support website or app and create an account. On iPhone and iPad we use kayak.co.uk so go to that site and choose to log in by email.

2. Now enter your email address and click continue.

3. Here you need to click on Create Your Account.

4. When prompted, enter your device passcode or hold your viewfinder over the TouchID sensor and generate a passcode.

Change password to key

What if you already have an account with a website or application and want to use a key instead of a password?

Just go into the account area of the service and you’ll see an option called “Set Password.” Click Set Password and you will be prompted to save the password, as in the case above.
